Getting to the detailed specifications on each of these tablets, in descending order, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra features a 14.6-inch Super AMOLED Display with a resolution of 2960x1848, and a 120Hz refresh rate. The Tab S8 Plus uses similar 120Hz panel technology but instead sizes in at 12.4-inches and has a resolution of 2800x1752, and the smallest Tab S8 features an 11-inch FHD (2560x1600)120Hz LED display. Paired with these displays is a four-speaker setup by AKG with Dolby Atmos support across the entire lineup.

On the metal back of each of these devices is a stylized glossy strip that has a camera bump which houses a 13MP auto-focus enabled main sensor and 6MP Ultrawide camera. And like in the Tab S7 Series, it also serves as a connection point for the S-Pen — which is included in the box and isn’t an accessory that is sold separately.

As for the cameras on the front, Tab S8 and Tab S8 Plus feature a single 12MP Ultrawide, whereas the Tab S8 Ultra features a fixed focus 12MP lens and a 12MP Ultrawide. This dual-camera setup will seemingly aid in its auto-framing feature and also allow users to use built-in backgrounds aimed at increasing privacy.
